Terrific setting as well. I bet Frank Miller is on this one and Marshall Kane is waiting for him, his brother, Pierce and Colby to seek revenge. Cue Tex Ritter.....

Interesting juxtaposition with the cell tower in the background.

Is it me or is the train climbing an incline ?

Great shot by the way

Yes, there is a very gradual incline toward the viewer. I used this area to allow the engine to chuff and produce more steam as it drew closer to my camera position. This is a narrow-gauge, 36-inch, railroad and the smaller engine works pretty hard at this altitude.

It's always a privilege to photograph them, steam locomotives have character and dignity!

Cheers!

Steam has always been "hot" even more so now that there are fewer engine operating.
